Are you ready to start really loving this life ​you're living?

​It starts with you, my friend!

You've tried all sorts of different workouts. You're not really sure what you're doing, but at least you're moving (perhaps you've even had your share of injuries along the way too). You love playing around with new ways of eating, like supporting local, going veggie for awhile, or trying to be gluten free, but you've never truly tuned into your food and body relationship beyond counting calories and weekly weigh-ins with your fingers crossed. These health and fitness spurts seem to come and go, you've never been able to keep it consistent enough to become a real lifestyle change, and now you're working a job that you actually don't mind, if not love, you've got your fur babies or significant other to take up your spare time, and, well, let's just say you're not finding any time for health and fitness, let alone you time.

​Dear friend, you are in the right place. I know, because I have been there too, and not long ago! It's time to steer away from the numbers, the constant mental battles, and the negative self-talk. Let's get that mind of yours shifted. No longer will another day pass you by where you couch potato in the living room all evening long, thinking about what you should/could be doing for yourself, as you stuff another handful of chips in your mouth, kiss your loved ones, and put another episode on Netflix.

Close your eyes and imagine yourself waking up in the morning feeling refreshed; your body is actually craving movement after sleeping well all night long, so you start your day with what your body is asking for. After your short morning ritual, you get in a quick 30-minute workout, then head to the kitchen to make breakfast. No freak-outs here either. You are actually looking forward to eating! You've learned how to eat real food that makes your body feel good, and it tastes amazing too!

​​Don't fret! I understand that this all may seem like a world away or totally not you. True, it's not you ​now, but I guarantee that this can be what your days look and feel like, so long as you are willing to commit to the process and the desire for change. No, it won't happen overnight, but not too far off you could wake up feeling one hell of a lot better than you did today. I know you're ready for that!

This is about taking your health into your own hands so that you can start experiencing just how good your body is designed to feel. It's about cleaning up these old stories that have been sticking with you for so long and writing a whole new adventure for yourself. This is your life, these are your decisions, so why not you and why not now?

In our community, we laugh often, aren't scared of failing, and know how to pick ourselves back up, because we know falling is a part of the journey too. Here's to you! I know you're trying your darndest. Stick with it and trust the process!
